	"Country Project" - 2010? Coming in 2010! The Stragglyrs are working on our next album, with the working title of "Country Project." Below are some rough cuts of songs that will be on the album Sample Tracks Their Dad Was Just a Picture (Mishler) Dallas 4 July (Van Buren) I Only Wish It Was Me (Hayes) Could've Gone to Phoenix (Van Buren) Gila Bend (Van Buren) Spirits on the Wind (Purdum) Maybrook Line (Van Buren) In Memory of 610 (Van Buren) Horizon (Van Buren) The More Things Change (Mishler)
	National Insecurity - 2008 Now Available! The latest CD rips our government's bankrupt, unconstitutional policies and the endless Iraq war. "Waitin' for the Sun to Go Down," "How Long?" and "The Decider" are cautionary tales that are tempered by musical exhortations to do something to bring us to a brighter day: "At the Zoo," "If You Don't Step Up," "Feed Everyone," "If the World Won't Rock" and "Take It Back." "National Insecurity" is a folk-rock album that is current and timeless. The middle stretch of the CD is just plain fun: beachy, folkie, country numbers to help you temporarily escape the oceans of red ink, blood and greed that are enveloping our once-great nation.

	Lost in a Tube - 2006 The confused state of a nation mired in a divisive war stalemate in Iraq takes center stage in an album dominated by protest folk-rock with "Lost for a While," "W. Drilled Us" and "War President." Western- and country-flavored folk-rock are evident in "She's Gone," "Old Neil" (Young) and "Lonesome Mystery." Pure rock euphoria is delivered by "Tonight" and "Just Play."

	Downhill Sunset - 2004 The Stragglyrs escape the present and head back to the early 1880s for a psychedelic country-rock musical horse opera about a mail-order bride from Charleston, S.C., who rides a train to join her farmer husband-to-be in New Mexico. Along the way, she meets a dark gambler who threatens to be the seemingly happy couple's undoing.

	Valley of the Shadows - 2003 This progressive folk-rock album captures the dot-com era and the dot-bomb collapse with "Red Arrows Down," "Not the Real World," "RIF'ed Again," and "Out of the Loop." Reservations about the invasion of Iraq are voiced in "Bit of a Chill," and the haunting instrumental title cut, "Valley of the Shadows," is worth the price of admission alone.

	American Trip: A Musical History - 2002 This folk-rock musical history of America kicks off with "Glade Runner," which tells the story of a day in the life of an Ohlone Indian in 1691. "Trip" continues into the 1960s with "Mango Surf Jam," "Camelot Lost," "Moon Landing" and the Grateful Dead-ish "Hippie Chick." The album laments violence with "Land of the .45," corruption, with the Woodie Guthrie-inspired "California Schemin' " and "One Nation" (under globalization). The tragedy of Sept. 11 is told in "Impossibly Blue" and "99 Names for God." Sample Tracks Glade Runner (Mishler-Braly) 99 Names for God (Braly) Order now for just $10
